Start Here
In this group I share the lessons I’ve learned over decades of martial arts training, competition, weapons training, and self defense scenarios. I encourage you to share your experience as well so that we all may learn from and support each other. If you're new here, introduce yourself by commenting on this post. Scroll through the community discussion to check out previous live q&a recordings and other posts. Keep an eye on the calendar for upcoming events. Check out the classroom for courses and instructional content. This platform is gamified so you will level up as you interact with the group. So make posts and comments that people like because likes are points. Refer to the attached photo to see point requirements per level. Help others level up by liking their posts and comments. Some content in the classroom has a level requirement in order to gain access. Things I plan to share with you: How to apply jiujitsu principles to life Rickson’s wisdom Specific technique videos Fundamental concepts How to be a good coach or training partner Funny bouncer and fight stories Guest instructor collabs Avoiding and healing injuries advice Help finding somewhere local to train Help finding seminars offered by Rickson's students Live and private Q&A Breath-work and workouts Nutrition and supplement advice Competition prep and strategy Let me know what else I give all respect and honor to my master who taught me most of these skills and who continues to inspire and guide me through life.

Hey @James Driskill. Thanks for starting this. I caught your podcasts on Rōl Radio and I Suck at Jiu-Jistu and your mindset on training and your reverence for Rickson really resonated. Been following you on IG ever since. I’ve been training for about ten years, but just started teaching a year ago. Loving it but was wondering what you think is the best way to be an effective instructor, especially when I’m still trying to learn and improve along side those that I’m teaching? Thanks again. Excited to be here. 🙏🏼
